After the success of Raid (2018), Director Raj Kumar Gupta is once again back with Raid 2, where he cast Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh but Ileana D'Cruz is replaced by Vaani Kapoor, which is a little bit disappointing news for Ileana D'Cruz fans, while on the other side, Saanand Verma , Anil Rastogi , Sulagna Panigrahi, and our favorite Saurabh Shukla appear in the supporting cast.
Hello friends, Ajay Devgan is the type of star who plays all genres of movies, like a terrorist in Diljale , a police officer in Singam, and an income tax officer in Raid and Raid 2. Yes, it is true that Ajay Devgan did lots of comedy movies like Golmaal , Rascals , Son of Sardaar, and Golmaal Again , but I think Raid and Drishyam movies are lucky for him because when we hear Ajay Devgan, a serious man comes to our minds, while on the other hand, when we hear or think about Jr. NTR, an energetic person comes to our minds.
The first half is a mixture of drama and a few suspense scenes, but the majority of times movie runs out of plot and covers the day-to-day life of Amay Patnaik, like how he gets a new transfer letter, and romantic scenes between Ajay Devgan and Vaani Kapoor, but the real twist comes in the second half when Riteish Deshmukh, aka Manohar Dhankar alias Dada Manohar Bhai, comes into the story, and we see some unknown faces in the movie, like Tamannaah Bhatia , Yo Yo Honey Singh, and Jacqueline Fernandez.

No doubt Director Raj Kumar Gupta is a big name in the Hindi film industry, but problems come in when there is no change in movie dialogues. I mean, some dialogues are copied from the Raid movie directly, like Darwaza kholo, Dada Manohar Bhai ke naam pe warrant hai.” To this, the reply comes, “Andar ye shastradhari dekh rahe ho?” Amay Patnaik fires back confidently, “Bahar satta ke karamchari dekh rahe ho? Only Rameshwar Singh, aka Tauji replaced with Dada Manohar Bhai.
While the other side's second half feels like the film relies too much on music. While the screenplay is engaging, the editing could have been better. If the director casts Ileana D'Cruz again, it will be better for the movie because some fans of Ileana D'Cruz want to see her on the big screen again.
